Easy Grilled Pineapples caramelises pineapples, making them sweeter and juicier with NO added sugar!! They are perfect as a side dish, in a salsa, as dessert or even in your smoothies! You need to try them if you haven’t already!
Oh, it also only takes ten minutes maximum of cooking time.
You probably know by now that not only do I love pineapples , but I also love grilled fruit . I’ve always loved barbecuing. The heat process naturally caramelises the sugars in the fruit, turning them into a real treat. That’s exactly the case for these grilled pineapples.
If you’re ever wondered how to bbq pineapple, or how to grill it, it’s probably the easiest thing you’ll make on your grill. All you need is a good, strong consistent heat and some pineapple slices. I like thick slices, so about an inch thick. Add it to the grill and heat it on each side. Each grill and pineapple is different, so put down one slice if you’re doing it for the very first time. Grill them on either side for a few minutes, flip, and that’s it.
It’s hard to describe just how divine they are, but those burn mark are actually the sugar bubbling over aka it’s ALL edible and delicious and juicy and sweet and to die for.
There are SO many uses for grilled pineapples. Think – everything you’d usually use it for, except with triple the flavour now:
With a scoop of ice cream and some rum
On top of your burger in a pineapple salsa
A caramelised pineapple smoothie – um YES
In your fruit salad
With some mint and coconut
By itself because honestly I sat down and almost ate a whole pineapple after one bite.
Happy Grilling!!

Pour a glass of this cool and refreshing Blackberry Limeade made with just 5 ingredients in just 20 minutes for a great summer drink!
It’s almost August! I can’t believe summer is already winding down. The one positive I can find to this is that pretty soon we will be celebrating with all things pumpkin, aka one of the best veggies ever. Until then, I’m happy to have as many blackberries, peaches, plums and other end of summer fruits up to the very last day.
I don’t make many drinks on the blog but I just couldn’t resist this Blackberry Limeade. It is so easy and refreshing that it would be an absolute shame to end summer without having at least one, make that 10 sips of this delicious refreshing drink. Best part? 5 ingredients, one being water, and it’s all ready in just 20 minutes.
My growing interest in blackberries started when the first drink we had in Tulum, Mexico was a blackberry lemonade. I thought it was delicious, refreshing and so fruity and I haven’t been able to stay away from them since. The only problem I had was all those seeds in my drink! I knew I needed to recreate it at home, but into a limeade that was easy to make and free of endless seeds.
The result was a drink so delicious that we finished the entire pitcher in one day. One. Day.
To make this blackberry limeade, there are just a few steps. First. it’s heating the ingredients in a pot, bringing them to a delicious red boil to infuse all the flavours. Smashing the blackberries definitely helps to extract their tarty juicy flavour and to bring it together with the lime and basil. This essentially makes a thick natural blackberry simple syrup that you could easily add to a blackberry mojito if you chose instead.
After that, you blend once again, strain and add in the extra cold water. I opted for 2 cups of additional water, but if you wanted it even sweeter you could only add 1 ½ cups of water.
Other than the taste, my favourite thing about this blackberry limeade is that it’s completely natural, made with unrefined ingredients and loaded with great nutritional benefits of blackberries, basil and lime all in one. You could actually turn this into a chia fresca by adding in some chia seeds into each glass for additional nutritional value.
Who doesn’t love sipping away knowing that they are doing their body good? This is the perfect time to enjoy what we have left of summer. Happy drinking!
